The Lake Como EDITION Rewrites Italian Luxury
HOSPITALITY
In partnership with Omnam Investment Group and Bain Capital, The Lake Como EDITION introduces the brand's signature minimalism and modern sensibility to a region long defined by classical grandeur.
For centuries, Lake Como has been the ultimate retreat for the world's elite, a destination defined by classical villas, manicured gardens, and timeless, stately grandeur. Now, the iconic Italian shoreline is welcoming a bold, modern interpretation of luxury with the official opening of The Lake Como EDITION.
This highly anticipated project, a collaboration between EDITION Hotels (part of Marriott Bonvoy), Omnam Investment Group, and Bain Capital, marks a radical departure from traditional Como hospitality. It retains the region's elegance but injects a contemporary, minimalist sensibility, positioning the hotel as the most compelling new gathering place for a new generation of global travelers and tastemakers.
A Modern Vibe in a Heritage Setting
The Lake Como EDITION is situated on the western coast in the charming town of Cadenabbia, directly facing the stunning promontory of Bellagio. The hotel has revitalized a heritage structure originally built in 1830, known then as The London.
The design, led by EDITION Creative Directors and the acclaimed design firm Neri&Hu, pays homage to the 19th-century palazzo while infusing it with modern sophistication. The lobby retains its original high vaulting and classical arches, but the interiors feature a refined monochromatic palette, terrazzo floors, and striking architectural details—a masterclass in subtle, contemporary design that seamlessly blends with the spectacular natural surroundings.
"This opening marks a new era in the EDITION story, where the timeless glamour of Lake Como converges with a new generation of luxury," said George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, EDITION. "The Lake Como EDITION represents the next frontier for the brand, setting a new benchmark for contemporary luxury defined by individuality, sophistication, and a strong sense of place."
Culinary Excellence and Pioneering Wellness
The hotel is set to become a major culinary destination under the direction of three-Michelin-starred Italian-heritage chef, Mauro Colagreco (of Mirazur in France), in his first-ever venture in Italy.
Chef Colagreco oversees four distinctive concepts:
Cetino: The hotel’s signature restaurant, offering an elevated interpretation of contemporary gastronomy that celebrates the pure essence of each ingredient.
Renzo: An all-day dining destination with a panoramic terrace, inspired by Colagreco’s cherished family gatherings and reinterpreting time-honored recipes for sharing.
Beyond dining, The Lake Como EDITION introduces a pioneering level of wellness with the launch of the second The Longevity SPA in Italy. The facility offers groundbreaking biohacking approaches, combining scientific anti-aging breakthroughs with vitalizing holistic practices like Dry Float Therapy, Near Infra-Red technology, and Hydrogen Oxygen therapy, all designed to support rapid recovery, deep renewal, and a longer, healthier life.
The property is complete with a spectacular floating pool situated directly on the lake, a private dock for the hotel’s boat fleet, and easy access to the breathtaking Lake Como Greenway walking route. The Lake Como EDITION truly reimagines the classic Italian concept of villeggiatura, the leisurely retreat, for the modern, global traveler. The hotel is accepting guests now in a preview capacity, ahead of its highly anticipated grand opening in March 2026.
